Inscriptions Translated!!!!
Greetings
I had the gold inscriptions translated by an Ottoman Scholar.
It is the Sword of an High Ranking Janissary Agha.
The Agha of the Janissaries or Janissary Agha (Ottoman Turkish: یڭیچری أغاسی; Turkish: Yeniçeri ağası) was a top Ottoman military official and courtier, and the commander of the Janissary corps.[1] Apart from the commander-general of the entire corps, the title of "Agha of the Janissaries" was also borne by the commanders of provincial garrisons of Janissaries.
The Poem is Incredible!!
I knew the sword was cool but ....
Included a picture of an Agha below.
Next I need to research the Swords owner.
Best Regards
Rob
P.S. The sword has been cleaned and preserved.
